You can go off people Trace...I'm sitting in the doom and gloom, soggy and webb footed here in Melbourne.Could you possibly spare a little sun for us pleeeeeease!I believe we're due 12 degrees every day until Thursday...oh joy! It's the winter that just keeps giving! So to see the odd Hawaiian shirt might even be okay, if it meant that the sun was out....okay well maybe not :$Sounds like you had one of our family reunions when we go home...it doesn't help that they all know who we are, but we haven't a scooby who they are....smile and wave boys...smile and wave! :DLove the art work as usual. Just the splash of colour we needed today.

Oh wow! What a great idea to make a painting in to a pendant! I would never think of that! It really does look like an expensive piece of jewellery! I know what you mean about the sudden change of fashion sense when a man reaches 50! Isn't that when the brown sandals and socks come in too? ;0)

Beautiful artwork Tracey... love the color combo together... and the pendant is gorgeous...Sounds like a BIG family reunion... fabulous that you liked it to the game 'Guess Who'... clever and true... and happy that you have warmer weather... still freeeeezing down here in Victoria... so if you can send some sunshine down... I would LOVE it...

I felt exactly like that at our family reunions. I was just informed recently that Myrtle died...who? Oh the cousin or so and so (I didn't remember, either) and she was 97. I wouldn't know most of the extended family if I bumped into them on the street...or they me. ;)

I love the idea of your family reunion consisting of folk smiling politely at each other and wondering who was who! Again with the blue skies in winter-still waiting for those here in summer! your illustrations are beautiful even if they were inspired by Hawaiian shirts (no, I don't getthem either!) the pendant looks fab!

How beautiful your paintings are, love them both!! The pendant you made is so pretty and amazing!! I love the idea of turning our art into something to wear, makes it more special. Glad you made a little time to have creative fun.

LOL, I try to smile and not look confused every day of the week! LOL Fun game though, it's admitting right up front that noone knows who the relatives are!! Great piece you did for Summer of Color, as usual, your work is fantastic! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)

Haha, you are so damn funny! i know that game exactly...i think we were on a three-year kick a few years back...or at least if felt like it. They've broaden their product line and there's another game involving rooms/house called Guess Where, I have to stop now because I am getting the shakes just thinking about it..Anyhow, that piece is just lovely. Have you considered getting your work on Spoonflower? (Forgive me for not noticing if you already do)

Great art, lots of laughs. I can always count on these when I visit your blog:)) FranT xo

Hi Trace, yes I've often wondered why older men wear Hawaiian shirts, I think they think it hides there beer bellies... Printing on tissue paper is great...let me know how you get on. Love the pendant. :)
